This book is a practical and accessible guide to methods of teaching in K–8 classrooms. Divided into two key sections, the book first explores foundational principles—curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, classroom management, and culturally responsive teaching—before diving into subject-specific strategies for teaching math, science, language, social studies, physical education, and the arts. With a focus on real-world application and reflective practice, this resource empowers teachers to navigate the complexities of today’s diverse classrooms and make a lasting impact on student learning.

Inquiry is not just a research method—it’s a way of thinking and growing as an educator. Everyday Inquiry for Teachers offers a practical, research-informed guide to integrating inquiry into your teaching practice, whether you’re beginning your Bachelor of Education, leading a classroom, or mentoring new teachers.

Grounded in constructivist and inquiry-based learning theory, the book bridges theory and practice through accessible frameworks, real classroom examples, and guided activities. Readers are supported in framing meaningful questions, collecting and interpreting evidence, and applying insights to improve teaching and learning.

By positioning inquiry as a lifelong professional habit, Everyday Inquiry for Teachers cultivates curiosity, reflection, and continuous growth—helping educators at all stages transform everyday classroom challenges into opportunities for learning and change.  

Thrive Resources advances interdisciplinary dialogue, research, and practice that explore how mindfulness, contemplative inquiry, and embodied movement support human flourishing across educational, professional, clinical, and community contexts.
